It might seem like it’s about cradle robbers and catheters, but Venus is being touted as another chance for actor Peter O’Toole to finally win an Oscar. The film follows elderly semi-famous actors Maurice (O’Toole) and Ian (Leslie Phillips), whose lives of dreary routine get turned upside down by Ian’s teenaged great-niece Jessie (Jodie Whittaker).… Continue reading Venus almost captures hearts

Online-Exclusive Spun: Los Lobos
Los Lobos are at it again with their latest, The Town and the City. Mostly a disappointment, the album’s only saving graces are its three songs in Spanish with a Latin beat, “Chuco’s Cumbia,” “Luna,” and “No Puedo Más.” While there is still a slight Latin flair to the rest of their songs, many of… Continue reading Online-Exclusive Spun: Los Lobos
